It's Just Not Summer without Some Outdoor Fun from Crayola! #SUMMERFUN

Whether it's providing tools to put a purple octopus on the moon, or enabling teachers to bring arts-infused learning into the classroom, Crayola is passionate about helping parents and educators raise creatively alive children who we believe will grow to be inspired, original adults.

Our company has inspired artistic creativity in children for more than 100 years - since the first box of Crayola crayons rolled off the assembly line in 1903. The company began when cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith took over Edwin's father's pigment business in 1885. Early products included red oxide pigment used as barn paint and carbon black used in car tires.

After noticing a need for safe, high quality, affordable wax crayons, in 1903, Crayola produced the first box of eight crayons and sold them for 5 cents.

Since then, the Crayola brand has grown into a portfolio of innovative art tools, crafting activities, and creative toys that give kids the power to express all that inspires them as they explore, discover, play, pretend, and dream.

In 1984, Crayola became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards and has since played a significant role in Hallmark’s personal development strategies.

The company carried the name of its founders, Binney & Smith, until 2007 when we changed our name to Crayola to reflect our No. 1 brand.

Crayola has called Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, its home since the turn of the century. Today, the company's world headquarters and major manufacturing facilities are located there. Downtown Easton is the home of The Crayola EXPERIENCE®, our interactive brand experience where families can enjoy a day of creative fun and see how we make our iconic Crayola crayons and markers.

Give kids the creative tools they need to create exciting outdoor art with the Crayola Washable Chalk Collection. These chalk sticks come in 64 different bright, bold colors and leave clear, vibrant marks on concrete or asphalt. When kids are done for the day, the chalk washes away with water.

Design and spray on colorful outdoor designs with the Crayola Washable Sidewalk Paint Sprayer. This sprayer lets you transform any ordinary outdoor surface, even those covered with snow or grass, into a blank canvas for your creativity. Made for ages six and up, the Paint Sprayer comes with two pre-filled paint cartridges, two stencils, and an instruction sheet to help get you started.

My Review:

It's just not summer without some outdoor fun from Crayola! My kids love anything and everything from Crayola but they especially love Crayola's outdoor products because it means they get to hang out outside and be as creative as they want to be. They usually deck our sidewalks out with their chalk artwork, play tic tac toe and so much more. As a mom of four, I love that when they need more room, or we need to clean things up, we simply get the hose out and spray it down. Then, the fun can start all over again.

Crayola's 64 ct. Ultimate Sidewalk Chalk Collection is like the ultimate chalk collection and has every color of chalk imaginable. When I brought out this box of chalk my kids face's lit up! My 4 year old loves Frozen so you better believe she was excited for the 6 ct. Washable Frozen Chalk Shapes! I think she carried them around for days in her purse before she even used them. Crayola's Sidewalk Paint Sprayer is a blast! My kids love how easy it is to make fun designs with the stencils and even had a blast creating some of their own custom designs.

Crayola has some amazingly fun products for summer that are sure to help create memories that will last a lifetime.
